12 hours later we were still playing it! - no sleep had at all!
Unfortunately having all been sat down for such a long period and hardly moving we ended up with nicknames, Bad Butt Brian, Flat Arse Andy, Sore Bum Barry and for some reason I was Private Boils!!! and I have used that since that day - probably about 20 years ago?
Well not too bad for most seems to fit Pretty good.....
I created my name many many years ago pushing over 16 years now...
JJEDSR1 ... pretty unique I think.. I had to come up with a name for one of the first games I ever played Tanarus, Quake, Delta force Land warrior .....so I figured why not just use the first letter of everyone in the families name hence .....J ( Joe) J ( Jennifer- wife) E ( ELyssa -daughter ) D (Dalton - Son) S ( Shadow - Dog ) R ( Rascal - Cat ) and the number 1 , just because I AM the BIG Dog ,, LOl !!!! so hence JJedsr1...... But everyone just calls me JJ but if you sound it out its JEDD-SIR-ONE....
So there you go I'm sure you will never find another one like it .. at least I don't have any issues with user names for games , So I just use the same forever seems like now.... No need to change it !!!!!!!
I created my name back in BF 1942. When my buddy brought it over for me. some of you may know him as commandopotski. It was the first PC game I had played besides the Oregon Trail lol. I chose Commando, because that movie kicked ass. and Timmy for obvious reasons. since BF3 EA has screwed me out of my original spelled name with their locked persona name, so I have been forced to go with C0mmand0Timmy..
Vishnu dreams the world into existence in Hindu myth and is the subject of an epic back tattoo that will never happen because I am afraid of all that pain! Plus, Muad'dib was taken at the time?
Follow up. Nope, never been close to visiting India and nope, no ethnic ties. I just like good stories.
Follow follow up. Also known as Tao in my Crysis days.
I've been a Sci-Fi geek since I was a kid. Two of my favorite movies series is Alien(s) and Predator...so that is that. Over the course of many games I have had to change or add suffixes because someone had already taken "Predator" so I have done "Predator07", "VTX_Predator" (VTX = Honda VTX 1800 which I owned at the time), "PredatorNC" (I live in NC). etc... The current one "Predator09r" came about from trying to re-use the 09 but it was already taken?!? so I added the "r" since military phonics pronounce it "niner" anyway.
